In the 1960s，while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park，
Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone
before ：he couldn't find the park's volcano. It had been known for a long time that
Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot springs and
other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano
anywhere.
Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone（圆锥体）
shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma（岩浆）piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see
smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a
cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen
hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten
thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is，
however，a second les known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building.
These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack ，leaving
behind a vast hole ，the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type ，but
Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking
photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the
park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the
visitors' centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed
to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera. The
explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from
anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up
with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
58. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？
A. Its complicated geographical features. B. Its ever-lasting influence on
tourism.
C. The mysterious history of the park. D. The exact location of the
volcano.
59. What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about？
A. The shapes of volcanoes. B. The impacts of volcanoes.
C. The activities of volcanoes. D. The heights of volcanoes.
60. What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably
mean？
A. Hot-air balloon. B. Digital camera.
C. Big photograph. D. Bird's view.
C
Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important
influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more
impressed by the most recent changes?
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions.
However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology)
revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude
that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in
"post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector
(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries
has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the
rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate
money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The
question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.
Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending
electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have
improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up
Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more
important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully
assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the
recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so
revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". As a result, in the last twenty
years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today
is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to
turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to
some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and
goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing
economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the
right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and
our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all
sorts of wrong directions.
61. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to __________.
A. a lack of confidence in technology B a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions D. a waste of limited resources
62. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should __________.
A. take people's essential needs into account B. make their programmes
attractive to people
C. ensure that each child gets financial support D provide more affordable internet
facilities
63. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of economic development.
D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
64. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.
D
Old Problem，New Approaches
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warning will
continue for some decades after CO2 emission (排放) peak. So even if emission were to
begin decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate. Here I
will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand that climate change is a
process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard ， but to a
constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least ， the US National
Climate Assessment says that: “There is no ‘one-size fit all’ adaptation.” Nevertheless，
there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor
countries. Floods have some more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades.
Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit
organization runs 100 river boats that server as floating libraries, schools, and health
clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan
is creating floating connectivity (连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is
also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make
floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang
Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The
loss of glaciers ( 冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to
agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can
damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter,
when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it
froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed
irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he
has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so
Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is
providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other
means of adapting.
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden
increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming
trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up
quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as
an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.
In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen
victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the
hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still
far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to
save the planet”.
More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine
owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too
wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allows him to plant
highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by
growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common
sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue
that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt,
it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and
astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy
systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in the way, we may avoid
the need to change in so many others.
65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies .
A. adaptation is an ever-changing process
B. the cost of adaptation varies with time
C. global warming affects adaptation forms
D. adaptation to climate change is challenging
66. What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project?
A. The project receives government support.
B. Different organizations work with each other.
C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation.
D. The project connects flooded roads and highways.
67. What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?
A. Storing ice for future use.
B. Protecting the glaciers from melting.
C. Changing the irrigation time.
D. Postponing the melting of the glaciers.
68. What do we learn from the Peru example?
A. White paint is usually safe for buildings.
B. The global warming trend cannot be stopped.
C. This country is heating up too quickly.
D. Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.
69. According to the author, polluting industries should .A. adapt to carbon pollution
B. plant highly profitable crops
C. leave carbon emission alone
D. fight against carbon pollution
70. What’s the author’s preferred solution to global warming?
A. Setting up a new standard.
B. Reducing carbon emission.
C. Adapting to climate change.
D. Monitoring polluting industries.

The Cost of Thinking
Despite their many differences, all human beings share several defining
characteristics. such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.
The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large
brains compared with other animals. It seems obvious that evolution should select for
larger brains. Mammals ( 哺乳动物) weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain
size of 200 cm2. Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of
our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be
better. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—consumption of energy—on the
body. I's not easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull(颅骨).
It's even harder to provides energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3%of
total body weight but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest. By
comparison, the brains of apes ( 类 人 猿 ) require only 8%of rest-time energy. Early
humans pad for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they spent more time in search
food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It's hardly an obvious
conclusion that this is a good way to survive. A chimpanzee ( 黑猩猩) can't win an
argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll.
Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it's
easier to find food or enemies. In addition, their arms that are unnecessary for moving
around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling. As a result,
humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.
Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors
developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a
relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision
and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.
We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these
have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all of
these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and
marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains
and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.
The Cost of Thinking
Introduction • Large brains for their bodies and the ability to walk upright are two
(71)_________ of human beings.
The (72)_________
of large human brains
• The larger brains may not be better because of the cost.
• The big brains make it harder for the body to move around and consume
more energy.
• The animal brain requires less (73)_________ when the body is at rest.
• Large human brains consume more food, and weaken muscles.
• Walking upright makes it easy to find food or (75)_________ against
enemies.
• Freed hands can serve some (76)_________ purpose and perform
complex tasks.
The (74)_________
of walking upright
• Walking upright challenges the human bone structure, and
(77)_________ the size of brains.
• Walking upright results in (78)_________ sufferings.
Conclusion • With a large brain, human beings (79)_________ other beings in terms of
intelligence.
• Weak and marginal, human beings remained (80)________ of
meat-eating animals.

and promoter of China’s nuclear weapon cause. However, it was not until he died that
his parents and many of his friends realized that he had produced such extraordinary
achievements.
Li Junxian, without whom it would have been impossible for us to send the rocket into
space, is one of the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. In 2018, this
90-year-old party member, donated 3 million yuan to set up the Doctor Innovation Fund
and the Hardship Assistance Fund.

One possible version:
Three great masters, Yuan Longping, Deng Jiaxian and Li Junxian, as listed above,
have made extraordinary achievements, have passion for their work, and always stick to
their posts. (28)
These masters have unique qualities and they deserve to be respected. It is typical of
them to be modest, selfless, determined and diligent. What they pursue is working for
the whole nation’s happiness rather than their own personal interests. They are loyal to
our country, willing to devote all they have to people’s wellbeing. (54)
What impresses me most is that Yuan Longping lives such a simple and meaningful
life. He should wear such a cheap skirt. Nowadays, it’s common that too many
teenagers ask their parents to buy them famous brands. Personally, as teenagers, we
should follow the masters’ example, applying ourselves to study, helping others and
trying to lead a simple but meaningful life. By setting noble ambitions, we can become
promising and make contributions to our country. (75)
